Biology

Girafarig is a hoofed quadruped Pokémon with a long neck. There is a white blaze on its muzzle, which ends with its round, pink nose. It has two horns with bulbous tips on top of its head. Its front half is yellow with black spots, while its back half is black with yellow spots. The female Girafarig has a smaller dark section than the male. There are many triangular, pink spikes along its back.

Girafarig's tail possesses a head of its own. The tail's head has yellow eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a small brain. However, this head is incapable of independent thinking and relies on outside stimuli such as smell to guide its actions. If the tail smells something alluring, it will bite. The tail often mimics the head during feeding, and is able to warn the Pokémon of danger if it is sleeping. Girafarig lives in wide-open plains, where it feeds on the plant life.

Morty later helped a trainer to locate her lost Girafarig in Misdreavus Misgivings, it has a scar under its eye. Later the same trainer was one of the people who volunteered their Pokémon for transfer sending her Girafarig in The Last Battle XIII.

A Girafarig was later seen under Lucian's ownership. It was used to move books with its mind and bring them to its Trainer.

Girafarig's rear head also has a brain, but it is small. The rear head attacks in response to smells and sounds. Approaching this Pokémon from behind can cause the rear head to suddenly lash out and bite.

Name origin

Girafarig is a palindrome based on giraffe, based on its two-headed and reverse appearance.

Kirinriki is palindrome of 麒麟 kirin (giraffe), and also a combination of kirin and 念力 nenriki (telekinesis). Kirin is also the name of the Qílín, the Chinese unicorn. The Qilin was feared by criminals as it was able to detect guilt. After sensing the guilt, the Qilin would stare at the guilty party and pierce its heart.
